Kennedy Range National Park

Kennedy Range is a national park and nature reserve in Western Australia with a sandstone plateau that rises noticeably above the surrounding red plains. The landscape contains various rock formations and supports diverse plant and animal life across its expanse.

The area gained national park status in 1993 to protect its distinctive geology and wildlife habitats. This designation marked an important step in ensuring the long-term conservation of the landscape.

The Yinggarda people have long maintained connections to the springs found along the western side, which remain vital water sources in the arid landscape. These natural features continue to shape how people relate to and move through this country.

Temple Gorge Campground offers overnight facilities, but visitors should bring their own water supplies as none is available on-site. Temperatures can become very high, so advance planning and proper gear are essential for a comfortable visit.

Preserved marine fossils appear within the exposed rock formations, revealing that an ancient sea once covered this now-arid landscape. These fossils tell a striking story about the region's dramatic geological past.
